EmC
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
GD
a sad day for inspiring artists
EmC
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
GD
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
EmC
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
GD
Shit on since the first show
EmC
But we turned feces to fertilizer
GD
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
EmC
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
GD
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
EmCGD
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
EmCG
Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends
D
loved
EmC
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
GD
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Em7
We bring ourselves down
Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
Am7
How fragile we are
Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Em7
We'll shake up this town
Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
Am7
So sexy we are
Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Em7Bm7 /F#Am7EmC
This is what you wanted right?
GD
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
EmC
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
GD
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
My point exactly
EmC
But you knew you had a spark, did you?
GD
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
EmC
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
GD
Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence
EmC
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
GD
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man
Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Em7
We bring ourselves down
Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
Am7
How fragile we are
Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Em7
We'll shake up this town
Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
Am7
So sexy we are
Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
*****Travis repeats chorus again*
Em7
We break ourselves down
Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
Am7
How fragile we are
Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Em7
We shake up this town
Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
Am7
So sexy we are
Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Em7Bm7 /F#Am7Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in

Let it out now
Put your chin up
